Gun Violence in Marion County, Alabama

The data in this report includes all deaths in Marion County classified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with firearms as the "mechanism." It includes all intents—both homicides and suicides in Marion County. Despite much of the national focus on homicide gun deaths, roughly two-thirds of all firearm-related deaths are suicides.

Data may not be available for all counties, or small population segments within a county. The CDC does not report rate data if the numerator has fewer than 20 deaths, or counts of fewer than 10 deaths.
